A House of Dynamite

Every leader believes they’re ready.
Almost none are.

They’ve assessed the risk.

They’ve built the plan.

They’ve briefed the team.

Then the moment arrives and the plan meets reality.  

And we all know the phrase “no plan survives first contact with reality”

Yet we still believe ours will.

That’s when leadership must step up a level, when preparation meets challenge under pressure.

After writing about the podcast The Wargame, I watched the new film A House of Dynamite by Netflix.

It’s another confronting leadership case study, that will challenge every part of you to watch.

It’s uncomfortably real.

As a leader, as a human, it will unnerve you and it should.
